Sure sign things are going well with MO elections. Look at this picture from inside the media room at the Secretary of States office! I’m feeling a little left out and lonely right now :( That’s ok with me… nobody needs any more drama here in the Show Me State!

From Elliot Davis: The head of the Missouri Republican Party David Cole just told me he’s confident Romney will carry Missouri and will win the Presidency once all the votes are counted.

The State GOP has had it’s final get out the vote push since October 28.

Volunteers have been kicking on doors manning the phone banks calling known Republican voters to make sure they get to the polls.

One difference here this year is Missouri is not a battle ground states so voters haven’t seen the candidates here. That’s meant not nearly as much staff and money from the Republican National Committee..For the first time in decades the load has fallen on the State GOP Committee to get out the vote for the Republican Presidential Nominee. Right now for those at the Republican Election watch party a feeling of confidence!

85 percent of registered voters in St. Charles County turned out to vote on November 6th. That is according to Rich Christmer of the St. Charles County Election Board. He says that voter turnout has been very good and they have been busy.
